Coldplay frontman Chris Martin went undercover to sing the band's new track, All My Love, at a Las Vegas karaoke bar. On September 21, 2024, the rock band performed at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Festival at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, Martin had a special surprise planned for later that day.
After the festival, Chris Martin disguised in what could be described as an ill-fitting business suit. He arrived at Vegas' famous Dino's Lounge with a red balloon and sang Coldplay's latest track. The audience members who grasped what was going on cheered on the singer's performance.

Chris Martin's act quickly went viral after fans in attendance posted footage of it on various social media platforms. Fans were giddy with excitement at seeing Martin perform at a local karaoke bar. Netizens joked that the singer's voice was way too recognizable. One fan noted:
"Chris blew his cover when he started singing,"
Social media users appreciated Chris' gesture and called him a "legend" for doing this. Here are a few reactions to Laurie Rogers' YouTube video of Martin's performance:
Frequent customers of Dino's Lounge were also enamored by Chris Martin's performance. Some of the comments read:
While some netizens wanted this live performance to be part of the song's music video, others giggled at Martin's usage of the lonely balloon.
Chris Martin arrived at Dino's Lounge wearing a blonde wig, and a pair of glasses
After Chris Martin's iHeartRadio Music Festival performance, he came to Vegas's local dive bar called Dino’s Lounge late at night. Martin sported an oversized ill-fitting tan suit over a half-tucked shirt, some matching pants, a rather short tie, a blonde wig, and glasses while clutching a lone red balloon.
According to the club owner Kristen Bartolo's statement shared with Las Vegas Review-Journal, Martin and a small film crew reached the venue at around 10:45 pm. This happened after the owner was contacted by downtown officials and representatives for Live Nation.
Upon arrival, the singer quietly sat alone at a table and watched a few musicians perform with only his red balloon and a small glass of milk to keep him company.
After he was called upon by Karaoke captain K.J. Boston, the singer performed a version of the band's brand-new track, All My Love, from their upcoming album Moon Music. While on stage, Martin still held on to the bright red balloon as a few members of the audience quickly grasped what was going on and cheered on the singer while hastily recording him.
For the unversed, Coldplay debuted All My Love (acoustic version) back in June 2024, during their concert at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, Greece.
In the middle of his Dino's performance, Martin identified an audience member, seemingly named "Trish" and embraced her before sending her off with his red balloon. Before proclaiming "Dino's forever", Martin sang:
"Whether it rains or pours, I'm all yours, La-la, la-la, la, lay, Oh, for now and always, till the end of my days, You've got all my love."
According to Bartolo, the whole thing was planned but kept secret from everyone including the staff, so Martin could get a "real reaction" from the audience. Bartolo told the outlet:
"He sounded great, especially when you are in front of a crowd who doesn’t know you’re coming, these were not people who had paid to see him."
He added:
"He was pretty vulnerable, but afterward he ripped off his wig and the place went crazy."
Earlier that day, Chris Martin and Coldplay performed another one of their latest singles titled We Pray, alongside Palestinian-Chilean singer-songwriter Elyanna at the iHeartRadio Music Festival. Coldplay's 10th studio album Moon Music is all set for an October 4, 2024 release.
